Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We should have a monument on the National Mall for people martyred in the fight against white supremacists in the United States government. And I think there should be a monument right next to it for people killed by police, because it’s the same struggle.

Senate Republicans appear to be considering agreeing to split the DHS funding from the rest of the spending mega-package, the nyt reports: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

"The campaign of reckless brutality being waged by the federal government has been well documented, including today's killing of a citizen who was restrained and immobilized."

Important words from the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota, where I served as a priest before moving to Texas. ⚓️

Apropos of nothing, remembering the old Chinese author Lu Xun: “Lies written in ink cannot disguise facts written in blood.” ― Lu Xun

This video appears to be Alex Pretti reading a brief statement of eulogy over the body of a veteran who apparently died in the VA hospital ICU where Pretti worked as a nurse. This is the man the Trump administration labeled a "domestic terrorist" and an "assassin." www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

waffle house closed in murfreesboro apparently

Reading Oscar Romero:

you don't become a martyr because you were a saint, you become a saint because you were martyred

Watching this old man take a water bottle and slowly walk into a mist of tear gas is going to stay with me. Everything they do to make people scared empowers them all the more.

Chief Strategist for Rand Paul.

martyr means witness.

ARREST THEM

Today's shooting happened because no one in power did shit about Jonathan Ross killing Renee Good. There are zero consequences for murdering people if you work for ICE. And they know it. And it'll happen again soon.

dying is braver than killing and I am kind of shocked any of you disagree

we did this last week. if they want to go on TV and claim normal people don't have gas masks then they shouldn't be building a world where normal people have use for gas masks

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

/6 Watch, as this unfolds, two key things: (1) how blatantly the Gestapo will lie, and demand that you ignore what you can see plainly, and (2) how uselessly, how pathetically, how impotently the media will treat those lies and dither at this murder, craven publicists to evil.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

they sell them at the home depot!! the precise pink-and-yellow cartridge ones everyone is wearing! 3M brand!

arrest them too

Demonic powers. Call it what it is.

They executed him for helping people.

We got the close in video and it's even worse than the one from across the street

oh god, the other angle of video just dropped. it's as bad as you could possibly imagine

the people at the end helping his sobbing wife, so kind and so calm and so clear, are what made me lose it

“The peasants you kill are your own brothers and sisters. … No soldier is obliged to obey a law contrary to the law of God. In the name of God, in the name of our tormented people, I beseech you, I implore you; in the name of God I command you to stop the repression.” - St. Óscar Romero

O'Hara: "What I can tell you is we have identified this person 37 year old white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets, and we believe he is a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry."

"The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. ... "Next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Also also: transporting witnesses to an ICE detention center is sketch as fuck

It's the same as on Jan 7 - they can make whatever statements they want, but the video is out there.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

All of these cities, all of these people, all of us, we were fine. And now we're being shot like dogs in the streets.

A prayer I prayed this morning, if anyone would like to join me and is similarly struggling to find words. ⚓

Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

state officials must continue calling for calm to avoid making bad facts for the Insurrection Act case which is inevitably coming, but the people responsible for this murder must be arrested

It isn’t healthy to be this angry all the time. But it also isn’t healthy if this doesn’t make you angry.

Glory be to God on high,

I can't get over people in youtube livechats/on reddit being like "I'm coming back from the yo-yo convention in Atlanta and will be driving from Georgia through Nashville to Little Rock to Norman, Oklahoma starting at noon on Saturday and getting in at about 3am Sunday. Will the storm be a problem?"

Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

I never understood why everybody posts about people buying milk before storms until I realized that most people do not drink milk like I do I am always like "of course you need milk; it is the most important thing to have in the house at all times year-round"

"We are pretty convinced this is going to be a mess" - @nashseverewx.com

As clergy pray, arrests begin

Furthermore, by this order the curates shall need none other books
